Alan Bennett, Untold Stories

Part of the "Untold Stories", a collection of prose by Allen Bennett. This work is a sideways look at Bennett's schooldays at Leeds Modern School, and a recollection of the growing pains of puberty.

Alan Bennett's television series "Talking Heads" has become a modern-day classic, as have many of his works for the stage, including "Forty Years On", "The Lady in the Van", "The Madness of George III" (together with the Oscar-nominated screenplay "The Madness of King George") and an adaptation of "The Wind in the Willows". "The History Boys" won the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle awards for Best Play, the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play, the South Bank Award and six Tony Awards.
